NEW YEAR’S EVE FOOD
There’s nothing like a delicious buffet spread out for the family on New Year’s Eve, and this year is a good time to make it that extra bit special.
From sweet treats to mouth-watering savouries, here are our favourites homemade snacks for welcoming in the new year:
Sausage rolls – Make your sausage rolls with a sausage of your choice, allowing you to really up the sausage roll game. Opt for a chorizo sausage for spicy flavour or stick with more traditional sausages.
Sandwich station – Offer the option to make your sandwiches with ingredients such as ham and cheese from Tom Hixson’s deli counter.
Chicken skewers – Serve chicken, peppers and any other veg of your choice on skewers. For a veggie option, swap for some potato!
Pizza pinwheels – Ideal for kids and a good veggie option, pizza pinwheels are easy to make with puff pastry! You can always add some ham if you fancy.
Bacon and cheese topped nachos – Top nachos with bacon, cheese, guacamole and salsa for a quick nacho dish
Trifle – Go retro with your favourite trifle recipe for an instant pleaser.
Chocolate brownies – Perfect finger-food dessert, whip out your favourite chocolate brownies recipe.
NEW YEAR’S DAY MEAL
Some see New Year’s food to be similar to what’s eaten on Christmas day, while some take New Year as a chance to try something new.
Whatever you enjoy on New Year’s Day, here are some of our favourite dishes to inspire you:
Turkey salad – A good way to use up any of the leftover turkey from Christmas, turkey salad is healthy and tasty!
Pulled pork – A family favourite, pulled pork can be eaten in anything from burgers to wraps, and can be saved for leftover sandwiches at the end.
Beef – Choose from your favourite cuts of beef and serve with potatoes and vegetables. Whether you prefer Wagyu steak or sirloin steak, there’s a wide variety of beef to choose from, including plenty of roasting beef.
Whole chicken – Stuff with lemon halves before roasting, and roast carrots and parsnips in the same dish.
Roast pork – Serve with sage & onion stuffing, baked apples and roast potatoes for real wintertime flavours.
Squash and butter bean pie – Fill with herbs and serve as the ideal vegetarian option this New Year’s Day.
